Merit has indeed fucked up the ranking system here,but if you are here a year ago you are in a good position only these new folks are suffering including me i am 5days away to rank up for a full member i am too unlucky because i didnt rushed to rank up while there are no merit system.Now we dont have any chance of getting rankup because those merit source wont give any if are posting quality contents.
OK, let me tell you something, I'm in the same position like you and I'm not here like you for more than a year but just a few months. For those few months I learned so much, found so many interesting people and now see the forum with different eyes than before.It was a place to get me some coins to gamble with, now I'm enjoying every minute spend here. I'm really spending time here, more than 16 day shows the counter at the moment.
You are the after merit, well merit is everywhere just look around. The real people here are fighting a good fight against the spam here and if you join the force you may be rewarded with some merit as well.
There are many ways to contribute and there is really no need to be nullius, to be successful.
Farewell from an ordinary user
